Which Agency Holds a Report from Albion
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
Inside Albion that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Albion Police Department); outside it, the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also places the Calhoun County State Police in Calhoun County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Kellogg Community College (campus police), with a records office of its own.
The Union City Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Calhoun County, so its arrests are not broken out for Calhoun County here.
